Mississippi Queen
Style: Modern Rockabilly
Releasenb.:5629
Mississippi Queen delivered an excellent album, and every song
has been taken care of with lots of passion, enthusiasm, and
rock & roll by the band. All this commitment and plain hard
labor results into this sparkling CD that I really like a lot.
It's one of those platters that you throw in the player, puff
a smoke, drink a beer and enjoy the ride. The selfpenned tracks
have been well-matured and they grab you straight away. The
coversongs underwent a nice treatment and received a great workover.
Johnny Burnette's "Cincinatti Fireball" is a hard
to cover song, but I just have to love this version.
"You're My Baby", a Johnny Cash song, mostly known
in Roy Orbison's rendition, goes down smoothly. So does Johnny
Horton's "You You You", but what really makes my heart
tick faster are the selfpenners on this album. Just listen to
"Don't Leave Me This Way" or "I'm Going Home"!
The musicians are seasoned pro's: Ivan Semeš-Sammy is an
awesome guitar picker and Karlo has a very pleasant voice to
listen to. Double bass player Jurica completes the treesome
and plays his bass the way I like it: producing really cool
lines and actually playing the thing, instead of overemphasizing
on the "slap-click-clickety-click" that you hear too
much nowadays. I can't wait to hear the next album from these
boys, but for now, I'm not finished playing this one for a long
while! see www.rockabilly.nl for more informations.
